Merry Christmas!!! There are many things to be thankful for today.... But the One that trumps them ALL is Jesus. Pure and simple.
The many gifts we exchanged today amongst our family & friends were fun to give and a delight to receive. Most of the gifts we receive are meant to enhance life, make life easier or just plain make us happy. But every one of those gifts will eventually be used up, worn out or become obsolete. The gift of Gods own Son, however....well, that's a game-changer!
Jesus Christ is a gift of love, mercy, grace, life, joy and peace....all wrapped into One! He wasn't intended to enhance our lives....He was sent to completely transform our lives. He doesn't promise to make our lives easier, but He does promise to walk with us, through the difficult times we encounter. He didn't give up His rightful place as King of Kings to bring us happiness. He did it to bring us lasting joy and eternal hope. These are things that can never be taken away from us. Once we accept Gods free gift of salvation, it is ours forever. It can't be revoked or stolen.....it will never run out, wear out or get used up!
The ultimate Christmas gift is Jesus. Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there's something about that name.....it will endure forever, and one day EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue will confess that He is LORD!
